Did you know that the first butter was made more than four thousand years ago?
An Arab horseman carried milk in a bag of leather. He rode at a very quick gallop to a town which was very far away.
When he came to the town, he opened his bag to drink some milk, but he saw that the milk had turned into something yellow. The Arab ate a little of it and found that it was good!
He told all his friends about it. They liked the butter so much that they began to shake milk when they wanted some butter.
Much later people began to make butter in a special barrel.
